•C LOSED SESSION : Before every City Council meeting, there is a “Closed Session” in which members of council meet with various parties outside view of the public. According to the agenda provided by the City Clerk, in this meeting’s closed session, Council discussed the ongoing search for a permanent City Manager and Police Chief. They also voted to settle the lawsuit of Vivian “Kitty” Jaramillo v. City of Fullerton for $425,000 (for attorney’s fees). This was one of the lawsuits which prompted Fullerton to adopt district elections last November. Council voted 4-1 (Chaffee “no”) in favor of the settlement.
